Objective: This study sought to identify the available evidence about nursing interventions developed in case of acute pain in neonates. Integrative review developed in June 2014 in the databases LILACS, PUBMED, SCOPUS and in the Web of Science platform with the keywords used were “Pain”; “Newborn” and “Nursing Care”, which sought all the production from the bases, totaling 33 studies.Results and Discussion: The interventions found were: administration of glucose or sucrose and non-nutritive sucking; proper positioning, comfortable tucking, hold and wrap; skin-to-skin contact, touch and minimal handling; nutritive suction; Kangaroo Mother Method; reduction of environmental stimulus; conversation or soft vocalizations; music therapy and/or massage; heat/cold application; avoid the accentuated use of fragrances; family involvement and collaboration between nurses and physicians.Conclusion: We conclude that the production of knowledge about non-pharmacological interventions for pain relief in neonates is scarce.
